N has just finished showering and is currently drying his hair as he walks out of the room he staying for the time being when he sees Minhyuk talking with a familiar person by the main door. 

"Eunkwang! "He greets the BtoB's leader cheerfully. 

Eunkwang didn't reply to him right away as he took a moment to recompose his facial expression before finally turning to face N. "Hi, Hakyeon! "He greets back, this time with a smiling face which is unlike the scowling face he showed Minhyuk just moments ago. "How have you been doing? "

N chuckles. "Its been hard. "He admits. "But since I'm with Minhyukie now I guess everything's fine. "

Hearing that, Minhyuk let out a satisfied smile as he gives Eunkwang a pointed look, as if trying to prove his point and Eunkwang just scoffs in response. 

"Are you staying with Minhyuk too? "N asks. 

Eunkwang shakes his head. "No, I--"before he could finished talking, Minhyuk has cupped his hand over his mouth, preventing him from saying anything else. 

"He's here to join us for dinner. "Minhyuk covers up quickly. 

N gives him a suspicious look but asks no further. 

Dinner for N was nice and fun but for Minhyuk, it's unnerving. He keeps on expecting Eunkwang to just blurt out about VIXX's members to N and he wasn't entirely wrong. 

"How has Minhyuk been treating you? "Eunkwang asks all of sudden and N who was focusing on his meal looks up at him. 

"He's been treating me great. "N tells him. "Better than I could ever ask for. "

Minhyuk glares at his leader. "Why are you talking about me like I'm not here? "He demands irritatedly which succeeds to make N chuckle. "And what was that supposed to mean? Were you expecting me to treat him like--"

"So do you like it here? "Eunkwang wonders once more, totally ignoring Minhyuk's displeasure. 

N nods. "Of course. Minhyuk is here so why wouldn't I like it here? "He asks innocently. 

Eunkwang sighs. "What about your home? The dorm, I mean. Don't you like it there? "

N's face changes immediately and he quickly looks away. "Of course I love my home. "He says quietly. "But these days, my home doesn't even feel like a home anymore . Everyone's arguing with each other and... it doesn't feel right anymore. I barely feel at peace there. "He admits and Minhyuk really feel like killing his leader for bringing such thing up when N was being happy. 

"Eunkwang! "He growls angrily but the BtoB's leader pays him no mind. 

"It must have been hard. "Eunkwang agrees. "But as a leader myself, I think you must know how important it is for you to be there when such things happen, right? I mean, its a responsibility that we have no choice but to carry along with the leader title . We have to be a peacemaker for the team. "

"I tried. "N retaliates, putting down both his chopsticks and spoon down as he has lost his appetite. "But they won't listen and I'm tired. "He says. "I know I have to keep trying but I need some time, to heal my own broken heart. "He reasons. "I'll return to them very soon and I hope... things wouldn't get worse in the mean time . "

"I'm afraid it has already gotten worse, Hakyeon. "Eunkwang tells him. 

"What do you mean? "

"Taekwoon told me that... not long after Minhyuk took you away, Jaehwan lost it. "

"Lost it? "N echoes, the colour draining from his face.
